Meet the most appetizing and affordable gourmet grilled cheese in town

Alixandra Caole Vila - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines – Some people say that there’s nothing to innovate with the classic cheese between white bread squeezed together to get that crisp crust and drooping melted cheese, but Brew Haus Pub & Eatery proves through the inventive Chef Carlo Miguel that there is a big difference between a grilled cheese and a GRILLED CHEESE.

In addition to  Beso Cucina Vinoteka, Draft Gastropub, Distillery and Black Olive Cerveceria, Chef Carlo puts up Brew Haus Pub & Eatery, another gastropub that would change the way you look at the simplest of comfort food such as the old-time favorite,  grilled cheese. 

Cooking the next big thing
According to Chef Carlo, Brew Haus Pub & Eatery was inspired by the concept of food truck in the United States, where ingenious chefs who do not have the money to rent out a whole restaurant space opt for mobile kitchens. While grilled cheese is served mostly by these US food trucks, there was not a plenty of restaurants here in the Philippines which serve gourmet grilled cheese. Because Chef Carlo wanted to show the people what their palates have been missing all these years, he created his menu of Gourmet Grilled Cheese.  Moreover, Chef Carlo believes that with his innovative cooking and brilliant flavors, grilled cheese will be the latest food trend, replacing cronuts and cookie shots.

Lastly, the idea behind the gastropub is to make sure the gourmet grilled cheese never goes above P280, so that people will appreciate and savor their meal without thinking about the money they are going to pay in exchange for their satisfaction.

Putting a spin to the classic grilled cheese
The Gourmet Grilled Cheese menu aims to show people through their taste buds what they have been missing with the classic comfort food.

A grilled cheese doesn't work with just any old cheese.  Prepare yourself for a  transcendental experience by ordering the Triple Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Blue Cheese.  By putting together three types of cheese in one serving, Chef Carlo guarantees that people will enjoy the goodness of globules of cheese slowly oozing out of the edges of a golden brown crispy pan fried bread spread with butter.

Initially, the buttery aroma that curls up into your nose just before taking up the first bite will make you remember the first time you ever tasted a grilled cheese. But as you feel the crisp layer of tender crumb in your mouth you will get that kick of flavor, giving you a hint that this is not the typical grilled cheese, which you used to order in the cafeterias. Finally, the butter and the cheese, the  molten core signaling a rapture of that enticing and luscious full flavor, which Chef Carlo says his secret recipe.
